I'll try to paraphrase the best I can. She started a speech saying she has family that goes all the way back to the Mayflower. She has had ancestory that has fought in every war for the freedom and liberty in this country. Today is a day that we as people came together to fight for our freedoms and liberties and I ask all of you to stay and not let our country be stripped of those freedoms and liberties. There is no way I will back down.

"It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a person stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance." Robert Kennedy

There was a guy that come on briefly and said how they ended up outside.. basically the hotel manager was told to start closing partitions @ 5pm regardless if they were done or not. and then someone who was not on the hotel staff turned off the lights so it was pitch black and they had to move outside.

"You can prevent crimes by becoming a Police State. So if you advocate the Police State............the crime then will be against the American People and against Our Freedoms. And we will throw out so much of what Our Revolution was fought for." - Ron Paul, Nov. 22, 2011

The quorum is 100 delegates by the original rules. (This is met)
The quorum is 50+% based off of rules illegally passed at the convention (This is not met.)

So there can be debate about whether the approximate 400 people constitute a quorum.

irrelevant, credentials report was never certified and must be certified before rules can be adopted so NO bushiness was done. Including certifying people in order to establish a quorum. So we could in theory have had 5 people there and held a quorum. In theory :P

Looks like people watching the live stream are ordering pizza for the delegates
